College career: He started last season as a Heisman Trophy candidate. Then he broke his right leg in the first game, an injury so severe he required a second surgery last month. Bush would prefer to talk about his school-record 23 rushing touchdowns and 144 points.

NFL outlook: The Raiders took a huge flier on Bush, who won't be able to test his leg on the field until July. If he returns to form, what a steal this pick becomes. He's a bruiser with deceptive speed and great hands out of the backfield. He could be their future starter.

College career: Bowie improved as a strongside starter his senior year and instantly became one of the fastest defenders in the Big East. His college career was delayed by a hip injury, and he had shoulder and knee injuries the next two years. Bowie also won the conference's 100-meter title in track.

NFL outlook: He has track speed, a valued trait in this organization, but his record of injuries brings up durability issues. Bowie's closing speed gives him a chance to make the roster as a backup.

College career: Another late bloomer, he finally cracked the starting lineup last season. He had 25 tackles, four sacks and 8.5 tackles for losses as a senior.

NFL outlook: Lanky with a quick burst on the edge, Richardson has some developing to do. Some teams considered him a potential outside linebacker, but for now, he'll give the Raiders depth at defensive end opposite Derrick Burgess.

College career: An Oak Grove High-San Jose alum, Frampton was a hard-hitting playmaker for the Cougars. He led the team with 87 tackles as a junior, then was an All-Pac-10 pick last season with 100 tackles and five interceptions.

NFL outlook: He lacks the measurables, but makes up for it with physical, head's-up play. With Michael Huff patrolling strong safety, Frampton is looking at a reserve role in camp.

College career: O'Neal was one magazine's former walk-on of the year; a series of medical problems turned him into a six-year college player. Primarily a blocker, he had eight carries for 59 yards in five games as a senior.

NFL outlook: Best-case scenario, he turns into a career blocking back in the mold of Lorenzo Neal. Scouting reports call him a limited player who needs to improve on blocking skills. He'll get a training-camp look, if nothing else.
